Listen, college is fun no matter what course or campus you go to.

Hard work, but fun. However, if you're into the workings behind booze, then this college course could be for you. Carlow IT has just announced that it has created a Bachelor of Science (Honours) Degree programme in Brewing & Distilling. Interesting. And if you think it's just for the nights out and the lols, a lot of work actually went into creating it. Carlow IT had researchers looking into the course for two years, and it's the first of its kind in Ireland. Of course, there will be many nights out and the lols, but a lot of work went into making the course all come together. The course description reads: "Successful brewing and distilling requires the application of both scientific and engineering principles. "This four year course, the first undergraduate brewing and distilling degree in Ireland, equips students with the necessary scientific knowledge and instrumentation competencies to work in the brewing and distilling industry. "Combined with modules in product development, marketing and regulatory affairs, graduates will be ideally qualified to work in these expanding industries." There are 36 places in the course and it takes place over four years. And you know, when you go out you'll actually be able to tell your mates exactly how their drinks are made. Not that that would get on their nerves or anything...
